In Vivo (IV) will consider the publication of conference proceedings and/or abstracts provided that the material submitted fulfils the quality requirements and instructions of the journal, following the regular review process by two suitable referees. 2. An acknowledgement of receipt, including the article number, title and date of receipt is sent to the corresponding author of each manuscript upon receipt. If this receipt is not received within 20 days from submission, the author should call or write to the Editorial Office to ensure that the manuscript (or the receipt) was not lost in the mail.
in vivo 35: (2021) 3. Each manuscript submitted to IV is sent for peer-review in confidence to two suitable referees with the request to return the manuscript with their comments to the Editorial Office within 12 days from receipt. If reviewers need a longer time or wish to send the manuscript to another expert, the manuscript may be returned to the Editorial Office with a delay. All manuscripts submitted to IV, are treated in confidence, without access to any person other than the Managing Editor, the journal’s secretary, the reviewers and the printers. 4. All accepted manuscripts are carefully corrected in style and language, if necessary, to make presentation clear. (There is no fee for this service). Every effort is made (a) to maintain the personal style of the author’s writing and (b) to avoid change of meaning. Authors will be requested to examine carefully manuscripts which have undergone language correction at the pre-proof or proof stage. 5. Authors should pay attention to the following points when writing an article for IN VIVO: • The Instructions to Authors must be followed in every detail. • The presentation of the experimental methods should be clear and complete in every detail facilitating reproducibility by other scientists. • The presentation of results should be simple and straightforward in style. Results and discussion should not be combined into one section, unless the paper is short. • Results given in figures should not be repeated in tables. • Figures (graphs or photographs) should be prepared at a width of 8 or 17 cm with legible numbers and lettering. • Photographs should be clear with high contrast, presenting the actual observation described in the legend and in the text. Each legend should provide a complete description, being self-explanatory, including technique of preparation, information about the specimen and magnification. • Statistical analysis should be elaborated wherever it is necessary. Simplification of presentation by giving only numerical or % values should be avoided. • Fidelity of the techniques and reproducibility of the results, should be points of particular importance in the discussion section. Authors are advised to check the correctness of their methods and results carefully before writing an article. Probable or dubious explanations should be avoided. • Authors should not cite results submitted for publication in the reference section. Such results may be described briefly in the text with a note in parenthesis (submitted for publication by… authors, year). • References. Each article should address, list and discuss the entire spectrum of current publications relevant to its field. • By following these instructions, Authors will facilitate a more rapid review and processing of their manuscripts and will provide the readers with concise and useful papers. 6. Following review and acceptance, a manuscript is examined in language and style, and galley proofs are rapidly prepared. Second proofs are not sent unless required. 7. Authors should correct their galley proofs very carefully and preferably twice. An additional correction by a colleague always proves to be useful. Particular attention should be paid to chemical formulas, mathematical equations, symbols, medical nomenclature etc. Any system of correction marks can be used in a clear manner, preferably with a red pen. Additions or clarifications are allowed provided that they improve the presentation but do not bring new results (no fee). 8. Articles submitted to IN VIVO may be rejected without review if: • they do not fall within the journal’s policy. • they do not follow the instructions for authors. • language is unclear. • results are not sufficient to support a final conclusion. • results are not objectively based on valid experiments. • they repeat results already published by the same or other authors before the submission to IV. • plagiarism is detected by plagiarism screening services. (Rejection rate (2020): 64%). 9. Authors who wish to prepare a review should contact the Managing Editor of the journal in order to get confirmation of interest in the particular topic of the review and to allow programming of space availability. The expression of interest by the Managing Editor does not necessarily imply acceptance of the review by the journal. 10. Authors may inquire information about the status of their manuscript(s) by calling the Editorial Office at +30-22950-53389, Monday to Friday 9.00-16.00 (Athens time), or by sending an e-mail to journals@iiar-anticancer.org. 11. Authors who wish to edit a special issue on a particular topic should contact the Managing Editor.
